March 27, 2006: Yale Library Seeks to Expand
"FARMINGTON -- The Lewis Walpole Library, an affiliate of Yale University housing one of the world's foremost collections of 18th-century literature and art, needs a serious makeover."
"It's not easy designing a 13,000-square-foot addition, resembling a barn, that would offer more room to researchers and security and climate controls worthy of the library's rare and priceless collection of manuscripts, prints, books, drawings, paintings, furniture and other objects from the period."
